About Us

Personality Pad is an academic, not-for-profit effort. We are a research team
from University of Virginia and James Madison University. Our goal is to develop and
evaluate publicly-accessible, online tools that facilitate practical self-insight and
intentional self-development. For these purposes, we are working to adapt established
professional feedback and development techniques for personal uses.

When you register a Personality Pad (it’s simple and free), you will get your own workspace
and the tools to generate and interpret real feedback about yourself from multiple sources.

Your privacy is of the utmost importance to us. We will not share your personal information
with anyone, for any reason.

We’ve developed a system that allows Qualtrics users to easily set up a flexible platform
for doing 360° Feedback (aka multi-source feedback).
